Abstract

KIE: Medicine's increasing concern with humanistic values in the face of technological advances has begun to manifest itself in actions by professional societies and medical schools. The American Board of Internal Medicine now requires proof of a physician's "integrity, respect, and compassion" for certification. More humanities majors are being encouraged to enter medicine, and many residency programs are exploring ways of helping residents develop a more humanistic approach to patient care.
